What were you trying to do?
	[Please replace this line with your information.]
Copy the contents of the  consult locker by tarring it.



What's wrong:
	[Please replace this line with your information.]

When I did a    tar -xvf /mit/bitbucket/consult.tar,
I got a whole slew of  "can't create" and "permission denied" errors.  This
happend with tar files created with:

tar -cvf /mit/bitbucket/consult.tar .
and
tar -cvof /mit/bitbucket/consult.tar .


When I did:

tar -xvf ....

on an RT on the   tar -cvof   file, it worked fine.
